I mean I'm more inclined to believe that sometimes a crime whether or not its universally recognised as such or not and whether the state takes any action against it or not, its good when something is a crime and the state makes laws which it seeks to enforce against it, as imperfect as that is at times (too often its like using a stream roller to crack a nut, not the right tool for the job).

Just an aside which the title of the thread made me think on, dont know if anyone mentioned it already.
